Abstract excerpt
There is considerable evidence that the loss of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA during the first 3 months of treatment with pegylated interferon plus ribavirin is a prognostic marker of response to therapy. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for quantifying HCV RNA in plasma or serum are now commercially available. The extraction of HCV RNA can also be automated. This report analyses the performance of...
